Bm You hand in your ticket Bbaug And you go watch the geek D Who immediately walks up to you E9 When he hears you speak G And says, “How does it feel Em To be such a freak?” D And you say, “Impossible” F#m Bm As he hands you a bone D F#m And something is happening here Bm D But you don’t know what it is G Bm Do you, Mister Jones

Bm You have many contacts D Among the lumberjacks G To get you facts Bm When someone attacks your imagination Bm But nobody has any respect D Anyway they already expect you G To just give a check Em A [G7] To tax-deductible charity organizations

Bm You’ve been with the professors Bbaug And they’ve all liked your looks D With great lawyers you have E9 Discussed lepers and crooks G You’ve been through all of Em F. Scott Fitzgerald’s books D F#m You’re very well read Bm It’s well known D F#m But something is happening here Bm D But you don’t know what it is G Bm Do you, Mister Jones

Bm Bbaug Well, the sword swallower, he comes up to you
[Abaug]
And then he kneels
D He crosses himself E9 And then he clicks his high heels G And without further notice Em He asks you how it feels D F#m And he says, “Here is your throat back Bm Thanks for the loan” D F#m And you know something is happening Bm D But you don’t know what it is G Bm Do you, Mister Jones

Bm Now you see this one-eyed midget Bbaug Shouting the word “NOW” D And you say, “For what reason?” E9 And he says, “How?” G And you say, “What does this mean?” Em And he screams back, “You’re a cow D F#m Give me some milk Bm Or else go home” D F#m And you know something is happening Bm D But you don’t know what it is G Bm Do you, Mister Jones

Bm Well, you walk into the room Bbaug Like a camel and then you frown D You put your eyes in your pocket E9 And your nose on the ground G There ought to be a law Em Against you comin’ around D You should be made F#m Bm To wear earphones D F#m ‘Cause something is happening Bm D But you don’t know what it is G Bm Do you, Mister Jones
